Ghana centre-back Nicholas Opoku of Turkish side Kasimpasa is being linked with a summer move to Romanian club FCSB, with uncertainty over his contract situation fuelling speculation he could yet be available as a free agent.
The 28-year-old defender, born in Kumasi and standing at 1.90m, is reportedly on the radar of the Bucharest giants as they assess defensive options ahead of the new SuperLiga campaign. Data from Transfermarkt lists Opoku’s market value at €1.50m, although the exact fee – or whether a transfer could be structured around an expiring or already expired deal – remains unclear.
Rumours of the switch from the Turkish Süper Lig to Romania’s top flight were logged on 24 June 2026, with the probability of the move still marked only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, are at an early stage. There is, as yet, no indication of an agreed transfer or pre-contract, and no confirmation from either club.
Opoku, a right-footed centre-back who wears the No 20 shirt at Kasimpasa, has built a reputation as a physically imposing defender since moving to Turkey. While detailed statistics from the current campaign are not specified in the available data, he has continued to feature in Kasimpasa’s back line in the Süper Lig, most recently in their early-summer fixtures, where his aerial strength and recovery pace have been central to their defensive approach.
With no contract expiry date recorded for his stay at Kasimpasa, rival clubs are monitoring whether the Ghanaian could run down his deal and become a free agent, a scenario that would make a move to FCSB considerably more attractive financially.
Should the transfer materialise, a step into Romanian football with a club of FCSB’s stature could offer Opoku a fresh platform in European competition and an important next chapter in a career now entering its peak years.
